Amazon listing is for Kindle edition which already has the cover https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!I’m confused though. If you search for the book, click on the series link, or even go to my author’s page, they all show the ‘pre cover.’ I can’t find the actual cover any where except through the link you provided. Is there a way to fix that?
That image is for non-Amazon ebook edition, does that exist or is it just a Kindle release?
It will be a paperback and a hardcover as well. That image was just for a place holder until the cover was finished.
That doesn't answer my question regarding ebook edition.
Oh sorry, I misunderstood the question. There will be other ebook editions, yes. I’m not understanding why that matters though? I just need the placeholder cover I uploaded changed so it reflects the actual cover of all the versions of the book. They should all be the same cover.
Thanks!
If you can add the ISBN to ebook listing and provide a link to an acceptable source for the cover I can change the image.
Hi Martin,My apologies for the delay. I hadn’t grabbed my isbn yet. I’ve been trying but I’m in Canada and the Canadian isbn website has been down at least all weekend and still is so I have to wait for that to be fixed I guess. Once I can get my isbn I’ll get back to you!
Hi Martin, so sorry this took so long. The Canadian ISBN website was down for all of May for some reason.Anyway, I've added the ISBN to my amazon listing.
Here is a link for the cover (Scroll towards the bottom)

Amazon listing is for Kindle edition which already has cover https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...We need a source to confirm ebook edition with ISBN 9781777856250
Hi Martin,My apologies, I didn't understand that I needed a separate ISBN. Since I am using that ISBN for all of my ebooks, is it instead possible two combine those to editions instead?
For Goodreads we treat Kindle and ebook as separate editions (maybe because Amazon is owner) so they cannot be merged.
Hi Martin,Below is a link to the nook ebook version with the isbn 9781777856250
However, the isbn doesn't appear on the product page, so not sure if this works?

We cannot use Barnes & Noble as source.
Okay, well I only made that version as a source so I can get this cover changed but I'm going to remove it because I've decided to go exclusive with KDP which means there will only be one ebook version, which is the kindle version. So if that's the case, can we then combine the 2 versions of the book and have the correct cover?
Librarians cannot delete books with valid ISBN, you need to contact staff for that https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...
It says they don't delete books. But I don't want to delete a book anyway. I want the correct cover on the correct listing and since the listing with the incorrect cover has the isbn for the kindle, which you have proof of, I'm not understanding why they can't be merged. Or at the very least, have the cover updated to the incorrect listing and the other one can be left alone. Why have two separate listings for the exact same edition of a book, though?The issue is no matter how I search for the book on Goodreads, only the wrong cover pops up. Same with if I get someone else to search. The only way I see the listing is by following your link. Otherwise it's like it doesn't exist. Please, I really need this fixed because readers keep asking me about it.
You say it is the same edition with same cover, the only way to fix that would be to merge the two listings which means one listing is deleted.
I need thew cover for my book updated please.
